Is a subatomic particle having a charge of 1 a proton?

Yes it is.


What are protons and where are they found?

Protons are a type of subatomic particle, which are found in the nucleus of every atom. Protons have an electrical charge of +1. A proton is about 2000 times heavier than an electron.


Describe the subatomic particles in an atom?

Atoms are composed of three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of the atom, with protons carrying a positive charge and neutrons having no charge. Electrons orbit around the nucleus and carry a negative charge.


What are the 3 subatomic particles found in the atom and list their charge?

Neutron: A neutral particle (0 e or C) found in the nucleus at the center of the atom.Proton: A positive particle (+1 e or 1.602 × 10-19 Coulombs) found in the nucleus at the center of the atom.Electron: A negative particle (-1 e or -1.602 × 10-19 Coulombs) found in orbitals within "shells" around the nucleus of the atom.


What are the subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom?

The proton and the neutron. (Both, in turn, are made up of quarks.)


What is the definition of a proton?

A proton is a part of an atom. The other parts of an atom are the neutron, and electrons. It's an electrically charged particle. It is positive. It is located within the nucleus of the atom, which is about one ten thousandth of the diameter of the atom itself but contains virtually all of the atom's mass. The number of protons in the nucleus determine the element; for example, if the nucleus contains 8 protons it is an oxygen atom. The protons are subtracted from the total atom mass, and therefore, the other mass are the neutrons. A proton is one of the three basic "building blocks" of the atom (along with the neutron and electron). It is a subatomic particle with a unit positive charge. (The unit of charge is 1.602 x 10-19 coulomb.) It has a diameter of 1.6 to 1.7 x 10-15 meter. It's mass is about 1.6726 x 10-27 kilogram. It is a fermion with a + 1/2 spin, and is, therefore, a baryon. It is composed of two up quarks and a down quark, and it is held together by the strong interaction (strong force). It is a nucleon, a particle of the atomic nucleus (with the neutron), and, as such will undergo mass deficit (along with any other nucleons) to fuse into an atomic nucleus. The resultant mass lost in fusion is the residual strong force, and this is the nuclear binding energy, nuclear glue, that holds an atomic nucleus together. The electrostatic repulsion between protons creates an upper limit on the size of an atomic nucleus because of the limits of this binding energy. By itself, the proton is a hydrogen nucleus. It's discovery is generally credited to Ernest Rutherford (in 1918). It has an antiparticle called the antiproton. The definition of the word proton is "a stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron, but of opposite sign."


Which subatomic particle can be described as having a relatively large mass?

Proton or neutron


Does the strong nuclear force have charges like the electromagnetic force does?

No. The strong nuclear force works through the exchange of a subatomic particle called a meson. Additionally, the strong nuclear force has to hold protons and neutrons together in the nucleus, so having a charge would have no effect on the neutrons.


What structure of the atom has been described as having a dense center that contains subatomic particles?

The structure of the atom that has been described as having a dense center that contains subatomic particles is the nucleus. The nucleus is composed of positively charged protons and neutral neutrons, tightly packed together in the center of the atom.


What are the three subatomic particles in an atom?

The atom is composed of a nucleus surrounded by electrons (negative charge)rotating in orbits around the nucleus. The nucleus is composed of protons (positive charge) and neutrons (neutral charge). so the three main subatomic particles are: * Electrons in orbits around the nucleus of the atom * Protons (positively charged particles) in the nucleus * neutrons (neutrally charged particles) in the nucleus. Except for hydrogen that is having no neutrons.


What particle in a atom has no charge?

Neutrons, which are found in the nucleus of an atom, have a neutral charge which is neither positive or negative.Protons, also found in the nucleus, have a positive charge and electrons, found orbiting the nucleus in the electron clouds, have a negative charge. A neutrally charged atom has neither a positive charge or a negative charge.An easy way to remember this is:Protons PositiveElectronsNeutrons NeutralTry not to get neutrons mixed up with protons because it starts with an "N".


What is a helium nucleus emitted from the nucleus of a decaying isotope and represented by He with a 2 plus charge?

A helium nucleus emitted from a decaying isotope, represented by He with a 2+ charge, is an alpha particle. It consists of two protons and two neutrons, thus having a mass of 4 atomic mass units. Alpha particles are relatively large and lose energy quickly when they interact with matter.
